About the Swedish NAO

The Swedish NAO is part of the central control power of the Swedish Riksdag (Parliament). We ensure that the Riksdag receives a coordinated and independent audit of the state finances. This assignment is unique as the Swedish NAO is the only body that can audit the entire state finances.

The Swedish National Audit Office has a unique function

­We audit the whole chain of the executive power. We are an independent organization under the Riksdag and we are independent in relation to those we audit. We carry out both performance- and financial audits.

Furthermore, we contribute to the development of the parliamentary control power and the democracy of other countries through our international assignment.
